ICS
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is the name given by Microsoft® to a feature in newer versions of its Windows® operating system (as of Windows® 98 SE) for sharing a single Internet connection on one computer between other computers on the same local area network. It makes use of DHCP and Network Address Translation (NAT).
One connection, the shared connection, is set to use ICS in a property dialog, specified along with another connection that other computers use in order to make use of the shared connection.
iComTM
iCom is a software for all types of cash points (bank branch offices, ATMs, safes, CITs, ...) to optimize all of the cash logistics. It predicts the cash requirements while considering changes in the customer’s behavior.
ID-1 card
Standard format for chip cards (width: » 85.6 mm, height: » 45 mm, thickness: » 0.76 mm).
Identification
Process of proving the authenticity of a device or a person by comparing a password that has been submitted for examination with one that has already been stored.
Identification systems
A division of the Banknote Segment. ID systems for identity documents such as personal ID cards, driver’s licenses, passports, and visa labels allow for reliable and unequivocal identification of individuals while protecting sensitive data. G&D not only provides components for personalization of identity documents but also supplies and installs individually tailored system solutions. Such solutions comprise systems for data acquisition, personalization, and document verification. For its ID systems customers, G&D supplies products such as the IMAGO data capturing system and the IMAGO printing module.
Identrus
A company founded by several large financial institutions to provide a global framework for confidential B2B e-commerce.
IEC
The International Electrotechnical Commission [IEC] was founded in 1906 and is based in Geneva, Switzerland. The IEC is responsible for the worldwide standardization in the field of electrical engineering.

IEP
Intersector Electronic Purse = electronic purse used throughout the industry.
IETF
Internet Engineering Task Force. Open, international community of network designers, companies, traders, and researchers. Strives for the development and acceptance of Internet standards and for smooth data transmission in the Internet. Standards are formulated in the form of requests for comments (RFCs).
Imprinter
Imprinter ("knucklebuster") used to imprint a sales receipt from the embossed card.
IMSI
International management subscriber identity
IMT
= "Intermittent Magnetic Thread" as developed in its classical form by the Bank of England.
INFACIO®
A multi-level security element for identity documents. To ensure the resistance to counterfeiting for personalized documents, the incorporated visible data are overprinted with additional, invisible data relating to the document holder, such as a photograph or first and last name. This additional information is invisible in normal light and can only be seen when the document is viewed under ultraviolet light.
Initialization
Loading of the permanent and non-personal data for an application in the EEPROM. A synonym for this is pre-personalization.
Inlet foil, internal foil
An inlet foil or internal foil is the layer of plastic that is located inside the card body after all foils have been laminated together. The inlet is therefore sometimes referred to the core foil. Normally, the internal foil is laminated between two cover foils forming, together with the two outer foils, the card. The inlet foil often carries the security features or electric components such as the coil for contactless chip cards.
Intaglio printing
A print procedure that is commonly used in banknote printing and, due to its sublimeness, is also a security feature.

Integrity
A message has integrity when it is evident that the contents thereof are unchanged. Standard data networks can not ensure that the contents of a message will reach the recipient unchanged. This is possible with digital signatures. The signature of a message is permanently linked to the message contents allowing a change to be detected.
Intelligent memory card
Memory card with expanded logic circuitry for additional security functions to monitor memory access.
Interference pigments
These cause differing color effects depending on the light angle and reflection.
IP
1. Intellectual Property
2. The Internet Protocol (IP) is a data-oriented protocol used by source and destination hosts for communicating data across a packet-switched network. Data in an IP network are sent in blocks referred to as packets or datagrams (the terms are basically synonymous in IP). In particular, in IP no setup is needed before a host tries to send packages to a host it has previously not communicated with. The Internet Protocol provides an unreliable datagram service (also called best effort); i.e. it makes almost no guarantee about the packet. The packet may arrive damaged, it may be out of order (compared to other packets sent between the same hosts), it may be duplicated, or it may be dropped entirely. If an application needs reliability, it is provided by other means.
IP Address
A classical IP address consists of four bytes (IPv4) or four quads that are separated by dots, for example: 193.96.28.72. These numbers are used in a large network, such as the Internet, to identify resources such as computers, web servers, or web cams. However, IP numbers are normally only used for internal program addressing. Clear text names are usually used at the user interface, such as domain names. The DNS assigns names to addresses (see also network classes). The following IP addresses are normally used for a local network: 192.168.0.0, 192.168.0.1, etc. (with a "Subnet Mask" such as 255.255.0.0) or, for a local host: 127.0.0.1
IPR
Intellectual property rights are the rights to intellectual / industrial property to protect individual interests and for protection from attacks and damages from third parties with the use of patents, copyrights, registered designs, licenses.
ISIS
Interoperability standard for the German signature law SigG that is provided by the corresponding trust center. Contains technical specifications.

ISO
The International Standardisation Organisation [ISO] was founded in 1947 and is based in Geneva, Switzerland. The task of the ISO is to support worldwide standardization to enable the unhindered exchange of goods and services. The first ISO standard was published in 1951 and concerns temperatures in length measurements.
ISS 300
"International Security System". The first currency processing system from G&D. Between 1980 and 2001, over 2,200 systems were installed worldwide, enabling to reach absolute market dominance. Follow up system: BPS 1000.
Issuer
Issuer of a card (bank or credit organization) or a company that appears to the customer as the issuer of a card.
ITS
Internet Transaction Server. Interface between SAP systems and the Internet.
ITSEC
The Information Technology Security Evaluation Criteria were published in 1991 as a catalog of criteria for evaluating and certifying the security of IT systems in Europe. The common criteria are the further development of the ITSEC and the standardization with diverse national criteria catalogs.
ITSEC E4 high
When security measures are implemented with a “high” level of effectiveness this means they can only be defeated by attackers who have a high level of expertise, opportunity, and resources, successful attack being judged to be beyond normal practicability. “E4” means the target of evaluation (TOE) required a formal model of security and a semi-formal specification of the security enforcing functions, architecture, and detailed design.
ITU
The International Telecommunications Union is an international organization for the coordination, standardization, and development of global telecommunication services based in Geneva. The preceding organization was the CCITT [ITU].

JAVA
Chip card applications are becoming more and more numerous and various. This applies to financial and payment services, telecommunication, automation, and transport systems or network applications of all types in which chip cards will be used increasingly in the future. Easy handling, user-friendliness, and universal applicability are becoming more and more important. That is why the multifunctional JACA chip card standard was created. JAVA creates a universal software platform to “saddle up” all applications for the chip card. Advantage for the user: The user can always “load” the current application and use the new applications without having to get a new card.
